Welcome
First Principle Chalice Lighting
We light this chalice today in honor of the Unitarian Universalist First Principle:
To affirm and promote the inherent worth
and dignity of every person.
We recognize that these are not just words to be spoken; instead, they call us out of our comfort into an ever-deepening commitment: a commitment we make to the rights of all whose inherent worth and dignity are denied, diminished, or destroyed by systems of oppression. And they call us into the practice of looking into our own hearts, with courage and honesty.
By Florence Caplow
Our Covenant
Love is the spirit of this church, and service is
its law, This is our covenant:
To dwell together in peace, to seek the truth in
love, and to help one another.

Extinguish Chalice The Work We Share
It is our work, shared with each other in covenant, That creates and sustains this beloved community. We extinguish this chalice, but its light lives on in the directions we have chosen today. The light of this faith lives on in us, together, in our hearts, minds, bodies and spirits. Amen and Blessed Be.
By Krista Taves
Benediction
Do not be dismayed by the brokenness of the world. All things break, and all things can be mended. Not with time, as they say, but with intention. So go. Love intentionally, love extravagantly, love unconditionally. The broken world waits in darkness for the light that is you.
L.R. Knost
Go in peace gentle people.

Zoom: Sunday, May 31st from 12-12:30 (Religious Exploration) and 12:30-1:00 (Youth) This week we’ll create summer
bucket lists. https://uuctc.org/re
Weekly Challenge: Summer Bucket List– What do you want to accomplish this summer? What do you want to explore? Any interests or talents that you’d like to develop?
Chalice Lighting: “The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has it’s
Summer is coming soon. Bits of free time.
Warm rays. Water play. Songs of Summer.
Crickets begin their magical time. Ladybugs jog for the joy of June. Dragonflies dance as they dart by. Their whirring wings sing a lullaby. Bumblebees buzz a melody sweet. Caterpillars tap their many feet. Oh happy hearts beat just like drummers. As June brings on the songs of summer.
“Keep shining beautiful one. The world
needs your light”. -author unknown

In early March, Beth Misner, JJ Rode and Lisa Pantea planted heirloom tomato seeds in anticipation of our annual May UUC Plant Sale. Those seeds have now turned into about 420 tomato plants and we would like to offer these plants to the congregation and friends in an ‘amended’ plant sale. All heirloom tomatoes are from Beth Misner's garden and are mid to late season. Below is a list of the tomato types, description, and how many small plants we currently have. The plants are available anytime, but the pickup details have not been confirmed.
Possible plans are to have them in the UUC playground area for pick up and payment. Most of the plants are currently 2-4 inches tall and can be repotted into 4" pots if need be, depending on when you would like them, now or later in May.
If you are interested in these plants, please notify Lisa Pantea at [email protected] or Beth Misner at [email protected], stating what type and how many plants you would like. Suggested price is $2 to $3, cash or check only, however any donation amount is welcome since this was intended to be a church fundraiser.

MASK FUNDRAISER - LIFESAVER MAKING MASKS FOR UU AND FRIENDS 100% of your donation will be given to UUCTC (Locally or online, most masks sell for $10-$30) Can’t afford to pay? That’s OK. Give what you can. I am donating the time and materials: 2-layer high quality cotton fab-ric, elastic thread.
If you want a mask, comment on my Facebook post on UU Discussion Group, or private message me, or email [email protected]. Masks are reversible and come in assorted prints and colors. When your mask is ready, I will send my address, put your mask(s) in a bag on my porch, and your donation (cash or check made out to UUCTC) can be placed in the bag, when you pick up your mask.
Children's sizes upon special request.
Thanks! Jean Herr
